Collaboration on anti-corruption: Norway and Brazil
Reducing the harmful impact on society
We research how corruption can be addressed in different contexts. Our U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Centre (www.u4.no) provide research and evidence to help international development actors get sustainable results.
U4 runs online courses and in-country workshops on anti- corruption measures and strategies for our partner agencies and their counterparts. U4 TRIAL tests new ideas for reducing corruption in the field.
We benefit from a broad network of international anti-corruption institutions, researchers and practitioners, as well as other Bergen based scholars and students.
Current focus:
- Fragile states
- Gender
- International drivers of corruption
- Migration
- Natural resources and energy
- Tax, public financial management
- (PFM) and procurement
- Sectors: health, education, justice,
- aid, private sector
- People’s engagement
- Informal contexts
- Measurement and evaluation
